How can I make an Excel Sheet forget that it was generated from TFS?

Question

I have an Excel sheet which is generated by opening the result from some query based on TFS work items.

I'm using this Excel for my personal planning, but whenever I close the Sheet, it asks me if I want to publish my changes to TFS.

I want it to completely forget that it is derived from TFS, because I fear that some day I may publish my changes unintentionally.

I have tried saving the Excel Document in the oldest possible Excel format, but that doesn't help.

Answer 1

This is much easier than the other solutions on offer:

1. Click on a cell in the table
2. Open the Table Design tab on the ribbon
3. Click "Convert table to range"
4. Save the workbook

Done!

Disclaimer: I've only tried it with TFS 2012 & Office 2010.

Answer 2

您可以复制列表并将其粘贴到另一个Excel工作簿中。

Answer 3

There is a procedure that describes how to do this at this Microsoft blog , provided by Dennis Habib:

"Close Excel. Disable the TFS addin by going to HKLM\\Software\\Microsoft\\Office\\Excel\\Addins\\TfcOfficeShim.Connect and change the 'LoadBehavior' from '3' to '0'. Open the .xls file. Wipe out the contents of the custom document properties (File -> Properties -> Custom). Save the file and exit Excel. Re-enable the TFS addin."
